Service Bulletin link from Vans

This service bulletin addresses cracks forming on the bottom skin of the tail, and the adjoining J-stiffeners attached inside. Since the tail was still detached from the forward fuselage, I figured it would be easy enough to just install the kit and not have it on the condition inspection checklist. Overall, it was relatively straightforward although crawling inside the tail to rivet the new brackets proved to be quite difficult, as the location literally required someone to crawl inside the tailcone. The resulting reinforcement plate on the exterior I decided to prime the contact patch since all external surfaces are currently unprimed.
